Large apartment with 2 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a walk-in closet. Completely renovated building, near the University, Macba and the historical center. Basic decoration but great location for those looking for comfort (air-conditioning, lift, wifi). Good value for money. Have a nice stay in Barcelona´s city center!

We really loved the location, which was very central and convenient, but still had a neighbourhood feel. We were travelling with our baby and really appreciated the fact that a travel cot was provided free of charge, and there was a lift up to the apartment.

The overall experience is good (equipment and location). 1 large bedroom overlooking the Carrer Joaquin Costa, 1 smaller bedroom (calmer one) overlooking the courtyard and the large living room overlooking the ronda de Sant Antoni.
Bad point are the noisy streets (which is normal in the city center). Needed to close the windows and turn on the air conditioner (in the living room) to be able to sleep.

The central location of the apartment (on a very busy street) is perfect for exploring the city of Barcelona, both on foot and by public transport.

I was very satisfied with the Cocoon Barcelona agency.

It's a strange apartment - wonderful and awful at the same time. I'll start with the negative stuff because I want to conclude on a positive note - we've loved our stay there and would recommend it to people with a few caveats.

So, the not so bright things are… :) The furniture looks like it was collected from a junk yard, the chair covers are filthy and are in desperate need of a wash. The best bed is the futon in the living room. The walls need a fresh coat of pain, the curtains are nothing but dusty rags (serious), and balcony doors are ancient to the extent that they have a holes in them from which you can see the outside. We have stayed during a cold spell when it was +15 outside and it was quite cold in the apartment. The old gas boiler is capricious and took us a while to figure out. Do check with the person delivering keys how to operate the hot water.

BUT! It is seriously in the BEST location in Barcelona. It's very central, very close to everything, 2 lines of metro are 50 meters away. The area is beaming with life, many local fast-food places, two bakeries, a discount small supermarket (dias), a big supermarket with fresh fish and endless meats, a Chinese anything-for-a-few-pennies type of place, where you can get everything from a plug converter to a suitcase, a fruit stall, a clothes market, an asian store next to it, cafes, a cheap hairdressers (men's cut €4, ladies €7), a nice and fancy hairdressers, and lots and lots of electronics shops. At the same time, it's not too noisy and not touristy. The bars at the back of the apartment can be a problem but out of the week we were there, they were noisy only one day.

Overall, we loved it. It's an old place in an old building in an atmospheric and historic area of the city. It feels local and special to be there and as long as you can put up with old furniture, it's not bad at all. It's very spacious, very nice if you have kids with lots of energy. There is even a climbing wall in one of the bedrooms. The bathrooms are SPOTLESS, white tiles, fantastic condition, one bathroom has a window. Btw, the apartment itself was well cleaned. For me, the biggest win of all was the kitchen. It was the BEST-EQUIPPED kitchen of any rented apartment I stayed in - it has more kitchen utensils than my own kitchen. We juiced, made smoothies from fantastic local fruit and tried lots of local food from the big supermarket. I love to cook and being able to relax with a home-made meal after a busy day was a special treat.

Cocoon has been very professional. It was a bit hard to get the invoice out of the owner/manager, but in the end we had what I needed, so no complaints. Both the owner and Cocoon took care to make sure we were happy with our stay. Many thanks to you guys!

Everything is really nice at the apartment with good wifi connection.
The thing that would make it excellent is to have better mattresses on the beds.

Kitchen: missing a clean sponge and drying clothes.
Second bedroom - some side lamps would have been very nice, plus some hooks to hang clothes

Wasn't sure what to do with the rubbish - we left it inside the big bins on the street.

Otherwise:
- Good internet
- Great location

Very near to Metro & grocery store (for basics). Kitchen teflon pans were scratched too much to be of use. Washer worked fine, but the Dryer never dried. Internet access was fast! Apartment has no "cuteness" factor. A few pictures would go a long way. Be warned that face & hand soap is NOT included, nor are washcloths. Don't leave the key in the lock on the inside if someone leaves the apartment! The door cannot be unlocked! This is different from US locks! Cost us 60 euros for a locksmith!

We had a very enjoyable stay. The area is convenient and safe, though note that both the back and the front of the apartment face very loud streets (particularly the back, where there are numerous lively bars). The agency was punctual and readily available by phone. The apartment was well-appointed with simple furnishings, and clean. The washing machine was a big bonus, but the kitchen could use some dish towels and the lighting was not the best (the last is obviously a small point, but makes a difference if it's raining or dark).
